WHO ARE YOU HIKING FOR?

The 21st annual Hike for CHV is a family and pet-friendly fundraiser that brings the Vaughan community together in support of compassionate hospice care. It’s also a meaningful opportunity for friends and family to celebrate and honour the legacy of their loved ones 

Join us for a day of connection, energy, and purpose. Open to all ages and abilities, participants can hike, fundraise, and raise awareness while enjoying scenic trails, live music, food truck eats and a fun-filled Kids Zone with face painting, balloon animals, sweet treats, interactive games and more 

Plus! Your registration includes free parking and full access to McMichael Canadian Art Collection exhibits.

It’s time to put the ‘sole’ into supporting our community! 

Your Support Matters

Government funding only covers half of what is needed to provide CHV’s essential programs and services

free of charge to our community.

Help us bridge this gap.

By supporting Hike for CHV, you are helping provide compassionate care and essential support for

individuals and families when they need it most.

We can’t do this without you.

A NOTE FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Every day, families share how grateful they are for the compassionate care and support they and their loved ones receive at Cortellucci Hospice Vaughan. In some of life’s most difficult moments, our team is there to provide comfort, dignity and a sense of peace when it is needed most.

As the new Executive Director of Cortellucci Hospice Vaughan, it is a privilege to witness the extraordinary compassion of our staff, volunteers and community every day. I am honoured to be part of this important work and to invite you to partner with us in ensuring that this work continues for those who need it most.

This year marks the 21st annual Hike for CHV, and I am especially grateful that my first hike with the organization will be alongside so many members of our community who believe deeply in the importance of hospice care. We are pleased to host the Hike for CHV 2026 on Sunday, June 14, 2026, at the beautiful McMichael Canadian Art Collection. Over the past eight years, this special event has brought together families, friends, local leaders and supporters to raise critical funds and awareness for hospice care.

More than a fundraiser, the Hike is a meaningful opportunity for participants to honour loved ones, share their stories, and celebrate the lives and legacies that continue to inspire them. It is a powerful reminder that hospice care is not only about the end of life, but about compassion, connection and community.

We are seeking valued partners to support this important initiative. Your sponsorship will directly help provide compassionate end-of-life care at no cost to patients and families, ensuring they are surrounded by comfort, respect and support during an incredibly vulnerable time. It also offers your organization meaningful visibility and the opportunity to stand with a community that believes every person deserves dignity and care at the end of life.

We hope you will consider joining us in making a lasting impact in our community. It would truly be an honour to have your support.

With gratitude,
Carmelina Cicuto
